Tuesday while volunteering at Cades Cove in Great Smoky Mountain National
Park (Blount County) I observed the following birds while trying to keep park
visitors from interfering with buck white-tails in pursuit of females. It was
the most active day I have seen with over a dozen 6,8 or 10 point bucks
chasing does around in many locations along the 11-mile loop road.
Great blue heron 1
Bufflehead 37 (on sewerage ponds)
Mallard 1 (on sewerage ponds)
Canada geese 22 (on sewerage ponds)
Northern harrier 2 (females)
Red-tailed hawk 2
Red-shouldered hawk 1
Wild turkey 5
Greater yellowlegs 1 (sewerage ponds)
Downy wp 2
Pileated wp 5
Red-bellied wp 1
Eastern phoebe 8
A. crow 15+
Carolina chickadee 2
Tufted titmouse 6
Carolina wren 3
Golden-crowned kinglet 1
Eastern bluebird 8
Robin 2
Hermit thrush 1
N. cardinal 4
Song sparrow 11
Swamp sparrow 2
White-throated sparrow 7
Meadowlark 47
Not too bad for not really birding in the Cove.
